governor christie takes a tour of the new jersey's storm damaged coast. residents are still being rescued after being stranded by washed out roads and bridges. nbc's danielle leigh joins us from toms river with more on the recovery. danielle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, eun. i'm standing on a road that just yesterday was completely covered in water. this is the road that leads from mainland new jersey to the jersey shore. now we're getting a look at the damage, at the bits and pieces of people's lives that were just washed away. this is a patio that officers tell me should not be in this parking lot where i'm standing. sitting on top of it are decorations from people's homes. officers don't know where many of these items came from. there was a boat that was just washed into the middle of the road. it's not surprising when you look at the scenes of damage, when you look at the video along the jersey shore and places like seaside heights where just the top of homes peek out of sands. when there's amusement parks and boardwalks ripped to shreds
